The developers for the Hampton Inn portion of Woodland Station knew their proposal was risky, as it violated the lot size and arrangement the city had laid out for them (see this story for more details and pictures). Well, it's been rejected, and the developers have been asked to go back to the drawing board and come up with a design that will fit the original footprint. Having been present at the original presentation meeting, it's clear the developers have a very difficult task ahead of them, though the main detail seemed to be with above ground parking. It's likely a revised proposal would include very little space for that, due to lot layout constraints, posing a problem for people with bike racks, roof-mounted luggage carriers, and trailers (since they'd have a hard time parking in the underground parking garage). We'll have to wait and see how creative the developers can get and if they can find a way around this issue.

The city's downtown development authority meets Tuesdays at 7:30AM in the Woodland Park City Council chambers and the public is welcome to attend.
